Men's Peacoats
The pea coat - or peacoat's - story begins at sea. Originally issued to naval officers to withstand the cold and weather of open water, the double-breasted, heavy wool silhouette became a civilian staple after the Second World War — and has remained one ever since. Gloverall's men's peacoat collection draws directly from that lineage, with the Churchill Peacoat at its centre: a coat named for a man of similar character — strong, formal, and quietly authoritative.
The Churchill Peacoat
The Churchill Peacoat is crafted from 100% Melton wool — a dense, tightly woven cloth that resists wind and light rain while carrying a weight and drape that synthetic alternatives cannot match. The cut is sharp and formal: notched lapels, a double-breasted front, and embossed anchor buttons bearing the Gloverall name — a direct nod to the coat's naval origins. Waist-height pockets add a touch of formal structure without disrupting the silhouette. Available in Navy, Black, Charcoal, Grey, and Loden, in sizes XS to XXL.
The Churchill Peacoat FC
The Churchill Peacoat FC takes the same refined silhouette and reworks it in FC fabric — a heavier, softer double-faced wool-blend cloth that sits closer to the body with a more substantial hand. The result is a peacoat that feels as good as it looks. The same notched lapels, anchor buttons, and Gloverall-name embossing appear, but the fabric gives the coat an even stronger presence. Available in Navy.
How to Wear a Men's Peacoat
The peacoat's military origins mean it carries natural formality — it works over tailoring in a way that a duffle coat simply cannot. Layer the Churchill over a suit jacket for a winter commute, or wear it over a Submariner Jumper and heavy trousers for a weekend look that references the coat's seafaring roots. For something more relaxed at a similar price point, the men's duffle coat collection offers a less structured alternative. For full-length outerwear with a more contemporary edge, the men's overcoat range — including the Harris Tweed Hynes — is worth exploring alongside.
